Concept of God - Part Two

Before reading ahead, it will be good to know that this article is my understanding and a possible theory of the evolution and existence of God in our world.

Creation of God

    

God. A part of us but yet, what is said to have created the entire world. The concepts of God may differ from each person but in the end, the faith points simply to one point - a blind belief. Before we jump into the concepts of the creation of God, we should discuss the questions any theist might ask. Why not God?

    This is a common question I always face in my talks. Why not God? He doesn't harm you. He protects you. Then why not follow him. You can see the contradictions to the belief in that question itself. Let me explain. The phrase "He doesn't harm you. He protects you" shows that whatever good thing that may happen in my life shall be attributed to God. Meanwhile, whatever bad experiences that I encounter in my life are just trials or lessons for me.

    Really, Isn't that hoax enough?. Let me ask you what kind of sick enlightenment would God get by killing a child. And the worst replies I get is that the child, who doesn't even know to talk or anything about life, is paying for the sins of their parents. It hurts to hear this, but these words were actually told by people with all six senses.

    Well, that is a far road to take if we keep discussing that. Let us focus on the creation of God. In the previous article, I had explained something that we already knew, Formation of Earth and Evolution of Humans. Let us take it from there. Years after year, the humans slowly shifted from the nomadic life to settlements and civilizations. Stay with me now, let us jump to the future a little bit.

    Take a home with, eleven kids and their parents. Consider all kids are around the same age and the dad is working. Be that mother, the housewife who has to manage all 11 kids and the house at the same time. The kids might not obey the mother. Now let us bring the father into the picture. He will be the role model and the power centre of the house.

    Imagine how hard it will be for the lady alone to control the kids without any medium that the kids might; be afraid of, or obey. So, if controlling a small house is a hardship, think how controlling a big group of people would have felt like for the Higher authorities in society back then.

   In our story the solution is simple. What the mother will do is to frighten the kids by the name of their father, either that he may not bring presents or sweets or that he will scold harshly if the kids don't behave inside the house. Now take the mother as the Government/Higher Authority in society and the Kids as indigenous people, and undoubtedly, the Father will be the God. It is as simple as that.

    In order to control a set of people, a few of the intellectual beings would have turned the Sun, the Ocean, and other natural resources as God. This is arguably the starting point of the concept of God. For them, it was simply the respect towards the energy offered by nature which helped them survive and bred discipline within the citizens. As civilizations passed, this concept of God was gradually carved into a tool to control the people and their minds by the rulers trying to expand their kingdom. And down the lane, after thousands of years, we are still slaves to that habit.

    The fact that there are different types of God present in our world is the best valid point to show that God is just a concept. Because, if God, as the omnipotent being, existed and created all universe; then there would have been exactly only one God on the planet. But however, we are blessed with many of them because great scholars of the ancients had different levels of imagination as they jotted down the religious manuscripts.

   So, next time you thank God for the food please acknowledge that almost one farmer attempts suicide each day in India alone. The next time you thank God for curing your fever, just know that there are kids dying around the world due to malnutrition and hunger. The next time you thank God for being safe inside your house, know that a girl is being raped somewhere else, even inside a temple, or by a priest, or by the rules of a religion. The next time you thank God, think more about humanity.
